Chapter 2: The Wind Listener
He lived on the outskirts of the town. He never stood at its center; he watched the world from the outside.
He could read the flow of the wind. He understood the meaning in a wavering flame. From the movements of a cat, he sensed the tension in the air.
People called him “the Wind Listener.”
He was not a healer. Not a guide. Not a teacher.
He was simply the one who quietly set the world’s small misalignments back into place.
